Saturday Night Fever

  • This is a past program

Equal parts dance drama, coming-of-age film, and slice-of-blue-collar-New-York, Saturday Night Fever is buoyed by a smoldering performance from a young John Travolta and the pulsing sounds of the Bee Gees. Forty years after its release, the film continues, as film critic Pauline Kael wrote, to tap into “something deeply romantic: the need to move, to dance, and the need to be who you'd like to be.” (1977, dir. John Badham, 118 min.) 

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, The Samuel Goldwyn Foundation, and all Hammer members.
